Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of konjac breeding technology, and in particular to a device for konjac breeding. Background Technology

[0002] Konjac is an important economic crop with wide applications in food, medicine, and chemical industries. With the continuous growth in market demand for konjac products, higher requirements are being placed on the yield, quality, and disease resistance of konjac varieties. A search revealed a Chinese patent with authorization number CN220915903U, which discloses a konjac breeding device. The device includes a base plate, a breeding cabinet fixedly connected to the top of the base plate, a first pump body fixedly connected to the bottom of the breeding cabinet via a pipe, a water storage tank fixedly connected to one side of the bottom of the first pump body, a second pump body fixedly connected to one side of the top of the water storage tank via a pipe, a liquid supply pipe fixedly connected to the top of the second pump body, and a quantitative watering tank fixedly connected to the end of the liquid supply pipe. This invention uses the second pump body to transport water from the water storage tank to the quantitative watering tank. A timer can periodically open a solenoid valve, allowing water from the water storage chamber to fall into a weighing tank through a drain pipe. A pressure sensor can monitor the mass of the weighing tank in real time. When the water level in the weighing tank reaches the standard, the solenoid valve closes, and a second electric telescopic rod can adjust the angle of the mounting plate, causing the water in the weighing tank to flow out at an angle.

[0003] The konjac breeding device in the aforementioned patent has the following shortcomings: the device uses a quantitative watering tank and watering pipe to water multiple cultivation pots, and the watering pipe is adjusted by a first electric telescopic rod to facilitate watering multiple cultivation pots. However, it is difficult to ensure that each cultivation pot receives the same amount of water, which may result in some cultivation pots receiving more water than others. Therefore, a konjac breeding device was designed. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a device for konjac breeding.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A device for konjac breeding includes a breeding box. A rotating rod is rotatably connected between the top and bottom of the inner wall of the breeding box. A vertical pipe is fixedly connected to the top of the inner side of the breeding box. Multiple horizontal pipes are fixedly connected at equal intervals on the circumferential surface of the vertical pipe. A solenoid valve is fixedly installed on each horizontal pipe, and a nozzle is fixedly connected to the bottom end of each horizontal pipe near the rotating rod. A fixing frame is fixedly connected to the circumferential surface of the vertical pipe near the stop block. A photoelectric sensor transmitter is fixedly connected to the top of the inner side of the fixing frame, and a receiver is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner side of the fixing frame. The receiver is compatible with the photoelectric sensor transmitter.

[0007] Preferably, multiple turntables are fixedly mounted on the circumferential surface of the rotating rod at equal intervals. Three placement slots are opened at equal intervals on the top of the multiple turntables. Each placement slot is equipped with a cultivation box. Three blocks are fixedly connected at equal intervals on the circumferential edge of the top turntable. The blocks facilitate the signal transmission between the photoelectric sensor transmitter and receiver.

[0008] Preferably, a stepper motor is fixedly connected to the top of the outer wall of the breeding box, and the bottom output end of the stepper motor passes through the breeding box and is fixedly connected to the top of the rotating rod. By setting the stepper motor, the rotating rod can rotate 120 degrees with the turntable each time, so that there is a breeding box at the bottom of the nozzle each time it stops.

[0009] Preferably, a water tank is fixedly connected to the rear side of the outer wall of the breeding box, a water inlet is provided on the top of the water tank, a conveying pipe is fixedly fitted on the top of the water tank, and the top of the conveying pipe passes through the breeding box and is connected to the vertical pipe.

[0010] Preferably, the bottom of the delivery pipe extends to the bottom of the water tank, a water pump is connected in series on the delivery pipe, and the water pump is fixedly connected to the top of the water tank.

[0011] Preferably, supplementary lights and heating tubes are fixedly connected to both sides of the inner wall of the breeding box. The setting of supplementary lights and heating tubes facilitates the growth of konjac seedlings. A cabinet door is set on one side of the breeding box, and a transparent observation window is set on the cabinet door.

[0012] Preferably, a controller is also provided on one side of the outer wall of the breeding box, and the controller is electrically connected to the photoelectric sensor transmitter, receiver, solenoid valve, stepper motor and water pump respectively.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0014] 1. By employing technologies such as photoelectric sensor transmitter and receiver, baffle, stepper motor, water pump, and nozzle, the water pump only starts working at set times when the cultivation box rotates with the rotating rod and is directly under the nozzle. This ensures that the cultivation box is sprayed with water for the same amount of time, preventing water waste. At the same time, the water is evenly distributed, ensuring that seeds in different positions of the cultivation box can grow normally. This effectively solves the problem of uneven water distribution mentioned in the background technology, thereby effectively avoiding water shortage or water accumulation in some seeds due to uneven water distribution, avoiding water waste, and allowing konjac seeds in different cultivation boxes to grow in similar environments, reducing growth deviation interference caused by differences in water content.

[0015] 2. By using supplemental lighting and heating elements, the konjac seedlings in the breeding box can receive sufficient light and suitable temperature, which facilitates their growth. Attached Figure Description

[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0022] Reference Figures 1-4A device for konjac breeding includes a breeding box 1. A rotating rod 6 is rotatably connected between the top and bottom of the inner wall of the breeding box 1. A vertical tube 204 is fixedly connected to the top of the inner side of the breeding box 1. Multiple horizontal tubes 205 are fixedly connected at equal intervals on the circumferential surface of the vertical tube 204. A solenoid valve 207 is fixedly installed on each horizontal tube 205. The control of the solenoid valve 207 means that when there are no seeds in the cultivation box 701 of a certain layer of rotating disc 7, no operation is required. A nozzle 206 is fixedly connected to the bottom of each horizontal tube 205 near the rotating rod 6. A fixing frame 8 is fixedly connected to the circumferential surface of the vertical tube 204 near the stop block 702. A photoelectric sensor transmitter 801 is fixedly connected to the top of the inner side of the fixing frame 8, and a receiver 802 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner side of the fixing frame 8. The receiver 802 is adapted to the photoelectric sensor transmitter 801.

[0023] In this invention, multiple turntables 7 are fixedly mounted on the circumferential surface of the rotating rod 6 at equal intervals. Three placement slots are equally spaced on the top of the multiple turntables 7, and a cultivation box 701 is set in each placement slot. Three stops 702 are fixedly connected at equal intervals along the circumferential edge of the top turntable 7. The setting of the stops 702 enables the signal transmission between the photoelectric sensor transmitter 801 and receiver 802, so that when the nozzle 206 is working, water can be sprayed into the cultivation box 701 at the bottom, without wasting water.

[0024] In this utility model, a stepper motor 3 is fixedly connected to the top of the outer wall of the breeding box 1, and the bottom output end of the stepper motor 3 passes through the breeding box 1 and is fixedly connected to the top of the rotating rod 6.

[0025] In this utility model, a water tank 2 is fixedly connected to the rear side of the outer wall of the breeding box 1. A water inlet 201 is opened on the top of the water tank 2. A conveying pipe 203 is fixedly sleeved on the top of the water tank 2, and the top of the conveying pipe 203 passes through the breeding box 1 and is connected to the vertical pipe 204.

[0026] In this utility model, the bottom of the conveying pipe 203 extends to the bottom of the water tank 2, and a water pump 202 is connected in series on the conveying pipe 203, and the water pump 202 is fixedly connected to the top of the water tank 2.

[0027] In this invention, supplementary lights 4 and heating tubes 5 are fixedly connected to both sides of the inner wall of the breeding box 1. A temperature sensor is provided on the top of the inner side of the breeding box 1, so that it works with the heating tubes 5 to ensure that the temperature inside the breeding box 1 is suitable. A cabinet door 101 is provided on one side of the breeding box 1, and a transparent observation window is provided on the cabinet door 101.

[0028] In this invention, a controller is also provided on one side of the outer wall of the breeding box 1. The controller is electrically connected to the photoelectric sensor transmitter 801, receiver 802, solenoid valve 207, stepper motor 3 and water pump 202 respectively. Under the control of the controller, the nozzle 206 sprays water evenly, without any water waste, and all water can be absorbed by the breeding box 701.

[0029] Working principle: When in use, add an appropriate amount of water to water tank 2, open cabinet door 101, and place konjac seeds and potting soil in each cultivation box 701. The system is set to periodically activate water pump 202, supplying water to vertical pipe 204 and each nozzle 206, allowing each nozzle 206 to spray water directly onto the cultivation box 701 below. By controlling stepper motor 3 to rotate 120 degrees each time, the three cultivation boxes 701 on top of each turntable 7 sequentially approach the nozzle 206. When the stop block 702 is positioned between the photoelectric sensor transmitter 801 and receiver 802, it blocks the light... When the signal is received by the transmitter 801 and receiver 802 of the electrical sensor, the water pump 202 can be turned on to enable the nozzle 206 to work, so that no water is sprayed onto the outside of the cultivation box 701. At the same time, the water sprayed by each nozzle 206 is the same, so that each cultivation box 701 receives the same amount of water, thereby achieving quantitative and uniform water supply without water waste. Meanwhile, by turning on the supplemental light 4, the sprouting konjac can receive adequate light. Through the control of the heating tube 5 and the temperature sensor set on the top of the inner side of the cultivation box 1, the temperature inside the cultivation box 1 can be kept suitable for the growth of konjac.
